1.0 INTRODUCTION:

In pursuant to the instructions of the Chairman and District Collector, DLC East
Godavari District, a team of officials from Mines and Geology Department, Ground
Water Department, Irrigation Department, RWS Department and Revenue
Department have jointly inspected the sand bearing area at Gopalapuram-3 Sand
reach, Gopalapauram Village, Ravulapalem Mandal, East Godavari Dt. on 31.05.2019
to verify the feasibility of sand excavation in River Godavari(V.L.B) and accordingly
they submitted a report. The same is enclosed for ready reference.

The joint inspection committee had recommended that the site is suitable for sand
mining by open excavation as per Rules and Regulations of S.O 141(E)
Dt: 15/01/2016 of MoEF & Climate Change, APWALTA 2000 & APWALTA Rules 2004.

The Ordinary Sand produced from this quarry shall be used for Public use &civil
construction and Quarrying shall be carried out concurrence with the provisions of
APWALTA Rules, 2004. Ordinary Sand occurs as unconsolidated depositions over the
riverbed and it is deposited due to transportation by flowing water and floods. The
replenishment of the sand deposition might change with river course, velocity and
denudation rates. The proposed mining plan is for duration of one year. The Mining
Plan is prepared as per S.O 141(E) Dt: 15/01/2016 of MoEF& CC, as per APWALTA,

should be identified and mining permits/lease should be granted stretch wise, so
that the requisite safeguard measures are duly implemented and are effectively
monitored by the respective Regulatory Authorities.

(b) The depth of mining may be restricted to 3m/water level, whichever is less.
(c) For carrying out mining in proximity to any bridge and/or embankment,
appropriate safety zone should be worked out on case basis, taking into account the
structural parameter, location aspects, flow rate etc,

11
 Therefore, the Mining Plan has been prepared based on the provisions as per A.P
WALTA Rules 2004 and the model guidelines issued by the MoEF in March 2010 and
